Royce,
    That's probably because it can't be done, 

Thanks for verifying my notion.

 Given the right delivery system and volume, an
air/cow-farts torch would melt copper.
Now you've done it.  A discussion of the heat content of methane vs 
propane vs acetylene is sure to follow.  :  )  The real problem, of 
course, is the gas collection system.  Don't even want to visualize it.
